I find myselfI'm just awastin' my time awayNo matter what I doIt always ends up the sameOne minute movesInto the nextMy life was simpleBut now it's complexAnd it doesn't seem to mean anything at allAnd everything I want to beIs just another silly dream, you seeBut I'll keep dreaming just the same

Sometimes it's hard to be meWhen people stand in my wayI get so easily discouragedWell, what can I sayThey try to mess you upThey try to push you aroundThey'll do anythingTo bring you down

I'm not gonna beStuck in mediocrityWhen everybody's trying to bring meBack down to realityOh, why can't they seeJust how much this means to meMaybe one day I'll be special

Your dreams are special to youBut maybe others don't careIt brings you downWhen you find them disregardedAnd when you're out on your ownIt's hard to make yourself stayAnd finish up what it wasThat you once started

I'm not gonna beTaken down that easilyWhen everybody's trying to tell meWhat I'm gonna have to beOh, why can't they seeJust how much this means to meMaybe one day I'll be specialI'll be special

It means nothingIt means everythingIt means something to meWhat you tryin' to sayI'm not gonna playIn this little gameThat you have created for meYou had your chance to doWhat you needed toAnd not it's time for meTo step right up andSpin that wheelThis time's for real

It's not gonna work this time'cause in the end it's going to be mineThere's no need for me to stay'cause everything is gonna goMy wayMy way, my wayMy wayMy way, my way, my way
